Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP)

GeoSolutions will provide complete, affordable storm water compliance services and consulting for your project from start to finish. Let us manage the environmental aspects of the job so you can focus on getting the job done!

GeoSolutions is your best source for construction storm water compliance services. We are an industry-leading firm that will prepare and implement a complete, affordable, and precise storm water compliance program for your construction project.

SWPPP’s – GeoSolutions provides complete, site-specific Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP) prepared in accordance with EPA and TCEQ storm water regulations for construction activities. We begin by reviewing your project and preparing a site-specific SWPPP. Our SWPPP’s are generated from careful review and evaluation of your construction project plans to ensure compliance with Federal, State, and local environmental regulations.

Storm water Permitting Services - are included in your SWPPP and compliance program. GeoSolutions will determine your permitting requirements with Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and other local regulatory authorities. Not sure if you need a storm water permit? Let us help. Our expert staff can quickly determine which type of permitting your project requires. We will prepare your TCEQ Notice of Intent (NOI) application and track it through the TCEQ approval process to ensure adequate and timely coverage. We will also prepare the Notice of Termination (NOT) when the project is complete.

Site Inspections and Monitoring - We provide thorough site inspections to identify possible sources of pollution and ensure that sediment and erosion control measures are operating correctly. Regular site inspections and appropriate reporting are required by EPA, TCEQ, and local jurisdictions. Some local regulatory authorities also require that inspection staff are certified. Our inspection staff is properly trained and certified to provide adequate and precise storm water compliance inspections. Our certifications include Certified Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control (CPESC) and Certified Erosion, Sediment, and Storm Water Inspector (CESSWI).

Reporting – Proper inspection reporting is also required to maintain SWPPP compliance at a construction site. Our inspection reports are promptly prepared and delivered to the appropriate recipients within 24 hours of each inspection, often sooner. Our reports are easy to read and customizable. We also keep electronic copies of each inspection report for your recordkeeping.

Proper Postings and Signage - GeoSolutions will post and maintain the proper documentation at your construction project. A TCEQ Construction Site Notice (CSN) with applicable site and permit data is required to be posted for the duration of the project. We will prepare, post, and maintain the appropriate CSN and permit data on a weather-resistant sign at your construction project. The posting is checked at each inspection and updated if required.

Regulatory Assistance – State and Federal environmental construction regulations can often seem “grey” and somewhat confusing to interpret and implement.

Stream Bank Stabilization

GeoSolutions offers design services for streambank and channel restoration, ranging from conducting full Geomorphic Assessments and determining optimum channel configurations to taking simple erosion control measures and formulating strategies to stabilize a channel or stream.

We typically consider the degree of current channel stability and generate designs to create a stable channel environment. Channel plan and profile may be modified or preserved to fulfill an interrelated project scope. This encompasses creating adequate flow characteristics while providing for efficient sediment transport without excessive scour or sediment deposition.

GeoSolutions specializes in the utilization of Natural Channel Design principles to construct stream improvements with natural elements and vegetation to enhance riparian zones. Our streambank stabilization clients range from municipalities and land developers to homeowners and ranchers.

Typical project approach using Natural Channel Design concepts

A Geomorphic Assessment would be conducted of the project waterway to determine the degree of current channel stability and to consider how to create a stable channel environment as a result of the project design. The channel plan and profile would be modified or preserved to the degree possible to fulfill an interrelated project scope. The goal would be to create or preserve stable channel dimensions, pattern and profile, such that the channel would have adequate flow characteristics while providing for efficient sediment transport without excessive scour or sediment deposition. To the extent possible attempts will be made to construct stream improvements with natural elements and vegetation to enhance riparian zones. The use of Mechanically Stabilized Earth Structures or Rock/Earth Anchored Structures is typically utilized to improve stream geometry.
